The Maurln Bible was the first compiet book ever printed with movbble type. This Bible was printed by Gutenburg at Mentz. 1460-55. There are six copies on vellum and twenty-one copies on paper that are still in existence. one of the paper copies may be seen in the Lenox Library, New York city. It is valued at 315,000. . . . Arab horses were brought from Africa less than two thou- sand years Ico. They did well in their new home. and when the Saracens started their spree of conquest mounted - they swept all before them. A nation without fleet-footed horses had little chance for victory. Indeed, the horse was important in warfare until recent times, when mechan- ized warfare came into general use. In olden days. poets sang about horses and sculptors made some of the finest sculptures of horses that have even: been known.

December's first day came to

l..srlea. mild and sunny. quite unlike the picture we "have learn- edtocarryinmindofit... We expect it to be chilly with a. keen wind and frosty - roads hard frozen along which the traffic passes with echoing rumbles. Ice on the horsee' drinking-tubs and sllvering the heights or depths of

the rain-barrel under an eaves' spout. But today! Jamie elder grandson of ours said: "You'd

never think by the roads or the fields that we are into the Christ- tgias month now. would .you? I know" he smiled, "because well, our. Christmas concert is coming up." ”Yes and I know" Gage spoke up gravely "because Santa Claus is on the Radio now!" "It will seem more real to us" lyn offered "when we see him in the store presently. "We were on our way then to see him at first hand. taking advantage of the lovely afternoon for the outing and the opportunity suddenly at- forded .is when Rob must go to the city on a matter of business.

calling to collect Jamie from his classes we W(l'e off "over the hills and far away." "what keen eyes have a pair of small ones- Adults can catch many a sight by them which otherwise would have as- caped them. ! O O D

”We mustn't linger on the road" Rob commented looking at his watch. Not that he is ever in- clined to loiter there though as a driver he is not given to taking any unnecessary risks. But on oc- casion he pscsses his truck harder than does the younger farmer, his-a similar machine, so that it is a question in the family as to which one will bear better the brunt of the years. "You'll give the turkeys a bite?" we had call- ed back to James as we left the yard. He smiled and replied with a light touch of sarcasm "Cm- talnly Ellen - I always leave you the cattle to feed. when I go away!" Then he added to Rob: "Now don't let your mother de- lain you.. If she's not 'ready to come home when you are. just drive off and leave her!" we sus- pect that this has been a secret desire of James for years on end, which though banished to his sub- conscious. still rears its teasing head. so that since he could nev- er bring himself to realizing it, lmself, being we suppose too kindly of heart though often tempted he sees the fulfillment by way of his son and is curiotis to see how the undertaking should work out.

O I 0 Q If one farmer: of our acquain- tance declares that "I nevnr yet came home from town when the wife was along that I didn't have to ride with my feet out of the wagon, since every available inch was taken up by the parcels" James has a notion that the fem- inine portion 11: the family is al- ways the delaying factor in ef- fecting our homing. No matter how many years have passed nor how many trips we have to the city this idea remains. We have lingered too long. James has prov- ed this to us over and over. "Such a time I have had. Ellen" he will say fallinz almost exhausted into his seat at the supper-table "in fact I thought I was going to be beaten altogether... the cattle, Ellen (or may be "the horses!") setting them rounded up to the stable. A few minutes earlier -yes. home just five minutes. it would have been no trouble at all, But it was getting dairk, and what in d----1 of I Job I had! What kept you any wsyn Ellen? 1. ready?

DEAR MISS DIX: What lhould . woman do who is married to

a man who is kindly and moral. but a man who just can't make a liv- In: and wppon her or can't even support himself? He isn't especially lazy.

some man who would give her a decent llv,lnB7 01' should she just stick to her bad bargain. What

shape is there for her? n NOLAND

ANSWER: There isn't any hope for her in her husband and the sooner she recognize! the fact and adjusts her life to meet it. the better for her. It is a bitter thing for a woman to realize that the ,' man to whom she is married is a yweak-ling who cannot do n manis part in the world and provide for his family, but she only wastes time if he is that type of.mon. in befoolinii lie!"-Wlf into believing that somehow. someway. he will change into a go-Sell?!"

NOT HIS NATURE ,.

He never will. He can't. Just because it isn't his nature to. la- efficiency is bred into his very bones. and why some people can never do anything Just right; why ghelr judgment is always at fault and they always make the wrong decision in every mailer: Why may HlVV'iyI.V-S get cheated in every trade they make; why they are always lllsfr 00 late to get the job they have applied for; why'they will work like beavers at something in which there is no profit and be simply I"- valuable at a picnic or a church supper and be worthlessyin a store or office. nobody knows. It is Just that they are. and their wives hate to accept them on that basis. '

What a wife does with this sort.0f a bush nd is so manifosily her own affair that no outsider dare interfere. any a woman loves such a husband well enough to support him and to think herself lucky in having Iilm.

But the one certain thing in all this wclter of doubt about what to do about the no-account husband is for the Wife i0 face the Silk”- tionv squarely and realize that snmehodY l" ill? family has 10 Work- somehody has to support the household. and if her husband wont do it. she must do it

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: In the office where I am employed there are about twenty-five men and women. Rcccnily the discussion got around to marriage. the various ages Ht Which People Sh0llld m3Fi'y and the riiffcrcnce in years between the sexes at the time of marriage. We would like your opinion u-pon which mcikcs the happier marr'iag'-'3 People who are virtually the same age or where the man is six to ten years older than the woman.

X. Y. Z. GROUP

ANSWERR: It is foolish to deny the importance of the ages of the high contracting parties in marriage and yet it is a mailer about which no hard and fast rules can be laid down. So much depends upon the personality of the individual. For instance. it is genPrdll.V conceded that twenty years' difference in age between a husband and wife is too great. yet if the man is youthfu-I in disposition and gay in temperament. and the girl is settled and mature in character there is. in reality. no disparity in age and they may safely marry-

Also it is generally agreed that it is better that the man should be older than his wife and that it is risky for a man to marry a wo- man who is more than five years older than himself.

Generally speaking. however. men and women have a better chance of happiness in marriage if they choose males who are nrrar their own nges and who have the same tastes. habits and background that they have. The matter. then. of six to ten years doesn't count one way or the other.

DEAR MISS DIX: My wife and I have been married for thirty- Lhree years and have got along very ha-ppily until now when a dis- pute h.is arisen between us about where we shall be buried. My wife wants to be buried in her family lot. I wish to be buried five miles away in A beautiful mausoleum. Now, should I forfeit my wishes and be buried by her side in her lol. or would it be all right to be buried separately, each in the spot. we wish? What would people think and say about it? -

LEONARD

ANSWER: After you are dead I don't think what people say about you will he of much interest to you one way or the other. So I entreaio not to spoil a happy married life by arguing over such a silly matter. Why don't you compromise by taking a gambling chance on the matter and leaving it to the one who survives to select the burial spot?
